Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Just use any A40 spec oil if you are going to use it as a flush and put Nano in afterwards, I don't think you need to think too hard about it?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi folks, I have a manual 99 3.4 carrera 4 which has sat in storage for at least 4 years. I'm going to drop the oil and refresh but will change the oil again fairly quickly what oil and viscosity would you recommend? Was thinking 5w40 but not sure what brand to use. Was planning to eventully put Millers Nano in. Any thoughts appreciated!
